The physical treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction affecting human movement and posture.
It is corrective in instances of pain, aggravation, inflammation and restriction.
We treat in a drug free, non-invasive natural manner. We are effective in attaining treatment goals with minimal consultations required and emphasis on self help programs to ensure rapid recovery.
The corrections we make are not symptomatically driven. We assess the symptom and (then) physically address the source.
For example, an inflamed shoulder joint does not always require a prescription of antiinflammatories!
An examination of the shoulder girdle may reveal an overworked muscle or muscle group causing (putting) constant strain on the attaching tendon, causing aggravation and inflammation.
The overload can result from improper shoulder function due to instability from poor posture / overuse.
Is one shoulder lower than the other?
Is one pelvis higher?
Do you straighten the shoulder to fix the symptom or address the pelvis to fix the problem?

By assessing your posture and range of movement we adjust the length-tension relationship of the musculature of corresponding tissue.
We correct postural alignment issues and rehabilitate injuries by using soft tissue manipulation, passive muscle stretching, dry needling and various myofacial release techniques.
By correcting the length tension relationships, we realign the body or individual joint. This reduces / eradicates muscular overload, minimises impact, prevents tears / fibrosis and allows recovery from past / present injuries and postural deviations.
We provide corrective exercises and stretches to promote self help in combating the negative effects (forces) of your daily life. This will allow you to reside in the natural state of ‘correct posture’.

Depending on your level of health cover, if your health fund appears below you may be eligible for a rebate.
If your health fund does not appear on this list, call them to find out if they do recognise Myotherapy and then ask them to send us a provider form to fill out.
*Unfortunately, if you are with MBF, you will not be able to claim your treatment with us as they do not recognise Myotherapy or our qualifications. However NRMA, SGIC and SGIO, though subsidiaries of MBF, do recognise Myotherapy as a claimable ancillary.
By addressing the geometry of the body we are able to detect areas of abnormal load and tension. At MMC we do not immediately address the symptoms at hand, we concentrate on correcting the imbalance which has caused the symptoms present, ie pain.
We look at what has caused the extra load / strain / aggravation in question, and then make the necessary adjustments to alleviate that load.
Mechanically, we restore the natural balance of the body, and then we treat you symptomatically for rapid recovery.
Assessment and treatment is carried out with client understanding and education of utmost importance. This will ensure that injury will not re-occur.
